Monday Night Raw Recap; Plus Curb Stomp Banned? Extreme Rules will SUCK!

Extreme Rules is happening this weekend from Chicago! After 2 weeks of terrible Raws, WWE will turn over an even worse PPV. Randy Orton promised to RKO the entire roster including "the undistruped future" since his finisher is banned on Sunday. Also, Ryback attacked a giant hot dog. That's all that happened this week.

Raw was a total disappointment and to top it off Daniel Bryan is still out. "Bryan is undergoing diagnostic testing to see if he can defend his title at Extreme Rules." I wish he would stop pretending to be a 60 year old yoga instructor and remember that hes a professional wrestler. Herbs and magic will not cure your injuries. I hope this isn't a repeat if last year. 

Rumors of The Curb Stomp being banned surfaced when Rollins used a new finisher on Ziggler Monday Night. Why is there a russian chain match when WWE doesnt allow choking? Is Rusev gunna go all 50 shades and whip Cena?! The WWE has not addressed the issue and no one knows for sure if stomping a man's face into the mat is actually banned completely. I say we keep the Curb Stomp and have Orton bring back the Punt.

Mrs. CM Punk Retirement and Raw Recap

After months of rumors, WWE has announced AJ Lee's retirement from in ring competition just five days after Wrestlemania. We can only speculate the million reasons why she would want to leave. My money is on a baby. You can't be taking hits with a bun in the oven. 

Image Credit: wwe.com

Leaving on top is the best way to make return in ten years when she gets tired of those little brats. AJ did great things for the Diva's division and I am sad to see her go. Here's to hoping there's another Diva out there that can fill her boots. 

On Raw this week Orton defeats Kane, Roman Reigns, AND Ryback to become the Number 1 contender for the Heavy Weight Championship. Rollins comes in and delivers a Curb Stomp laying Orton out after his win. Doesn't he remember getting his ass kicked just two weeks ago. They never learn. That Curb Stomp will come back to bite him in the ass.

The Authority's feud with Randy Orton will get old fast and The Viper will be off working on another movie in no time. I wouldn't mind watching a little more Rollins vs Neville. The inaugural NXT Champion agaisnt the longest reigning Champion. Bring up Zayns and Owens and we can have a party!

WWE Raw Recap: Wiz Rocks a Cena Shirt and Randy Orton Rocks My world

World's collide when hip hop super star Wiz Khalifa comes out for Monday Night Raw live from Pittsburgh, PA. While the rest of the universe is talking shit, I was bursting at the seems with excitement. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Heyman was gold, #Wizdow was trending worldwide, Bray and Taker has me at the edge of my seat, and the main event was probably one of the best I've seen this year. 

Image Credit: wwe.com

Did Vince know what he was getting into when he signed off on Wiz? Controversial tweets from the stoner rapper may be considered bad press for a family friendly show. "Ever perform a song for the first time in front of millions? Ever perform a song for the first time in front of million ON WEED!" Keep it classy, Wiz. 

To add to the controversy, Randy Orton stole the show(and my heart) when he turned on The Authority and flipped 'em the bird. I don't know why this isn't making a bigger splash around the wrestling community. Granted, this isn't a first for the Viper and the split from the Authority was predictable, Orton blew my mind with his performance. They are expected to face each other at Wrestlemania later this month.

Jon Stewart Nails Rollins in the Nuts and #GiveDivasAChance

The Daily Show host and native New Jerseyan, Jon Stewart, brought life to a very dull episode of Monday Night Raw. Rollins and Reigns opened and closed the show with the main event feud that may eventually lead to the predictable MITB match following Reigns win at Wrestlemania. Seth Rollins proved he has mastered his role as a heel. Stewart ran for his life after delivering a low blow to Mr. Money in the Bank. 

Image Credit: wwe.com

AJ Lee has finally returned. Last week, Patricia Arquette pleads for women's rights at the Oscars and writers give the Diva's a 30-second match. This leads to a #GiveDivasAChance hashtag and AJ Lee voicing her very loud opinion. "Your female wrestlers have record selling merchandise & have starred in the highest rated segment of the show several times, And yet they receive a fration of the wages and screen time of the majority of the male roster. #UseYourVoice." Steph soon replied, "Thank you @WWEAJLee, I appreciate your opinion." The WWE has a long history of treating the Divas as eye candy so it's about time some of these girls stood up for themselves.

Triple H breaks Flair's Hip and Another *NSFW* Photo Leaks, Matt Striker's Penis!

Just kidding, but in my opinion you could have tuned into Raw at 10:53 and not missed a thing. After the Kane/Reigns match was interrupted with more than a few "YES" chants. Roman wanted to sit ringside and cause a distraction for Little Daniel Bryan. Thinking that signing autographs and taking selfies with the crowd would rev up their feud, Roman got in the ring causing Big Show to win by disqualification. For the last few minutes Raw was on air it was an all out brawl that almost looked real(almost). Definitely the most exciting build Fast Lane has seen.

Image Credit: wwe.com

Every once in awhile I get really lonely and need CM Punk in my life. Normally I put his name into YouTube and search for a match I haven't seen before. Last night, a particular oldie but goodie caught my attention because I've finally been introduced to Striker's skin flute. Keeping up with last week's trend of dick pics, here is Matt Striker's penis.

P.S. If Colt Cabana could release his wiener schnitzel soon I would be so greatly appreciative. If not, next week I'm writing about Chyna. 

Rollins' Penis Steals the Show! Pic *NSFW* Inside!

It's O.K. Seth, we know the road gets lonely, but next time maybe you should leave your face out of the shot. A nude photo of NXT Diva Zahra was posted to Seth Rollins' Instagram account shortly before his ex-fiancé tweeted a few of his infamous man meat. With tweets like "Zaharah?" and "I definitely did HAHAHAHA" we can assume all posts were made by @Leighlaschultz, herself. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. 

Meanwhile back on Raw, Roman Reigns turns after a confrontation with Bryan during their tag team match. A little push and shove now Reigns is a heel? Barely, but thats what they want us to think. As cheesy as that Sting promo was I liked it a lot. It was like a bad horror movie, creepy and weird. I loved the fake Sting in the ring popping up to scare Triple H. In my opinion he could't have sold it any better. 

Image Credit: SportsKeeda.com

Lots of filler leading up to Fast Lane, but what did you expect. If Bray Wyatt's tease doesn't pan out to an Undertaker match at Mania I will seriously loose my mind. The only other options they have is to keep Sting going and have an old man match between the two. Not much of anything else happened besides the same matches we've been watching for the last 2 weeks.

Raw Reunion restores faith in WWE just in time for Royal Rumble

Image Credit: wwe.com

Some things never change. The Authority continues their reign making John Cena's life a living hell. If the Lumberjack Match wasn't enough, this week was sure to kill his spirit. It seems like the only way to win around here is to cheat. A 3-on-1 Handicap Match should have left Cena out cold but Sting came back to save the day. He didn't even have to do anything! Just the threat of Sting in the arena was enough distraction for Cena to get the pin and win back Ziggler, Ryback, and Erick Rowan for Royal Rumble. 

Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and HBK's Legend's Panel was a snooze-fest til Big Show came out. I was certain Flair broke his hip so i was happy to see him get up. Roman Reigns looks like a normal sized guy next to Show. It doesn't make sense how fast he can shoo Big Show out of the ring. 

The nWo reunion blew my mind. When JBL stood up I knew it was going down. As if there wasn't enough old men in the ring, the New Age Outlaws came out to beat the shit out of The Ascension, giving them a taste of what they're in forSunday night. Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, XPac, JBL, Farooq, Road Dogg, and Billy Gunn all in the same ring. This segment was great. Between the surprise appearances and JBL's Clothesline from Hell, I think we need more Legends on Monday Nights.

Raw is Jericho, SuperSmackDown, Tribute to the Troops and more

Image Credit: wwe.com

What a start to WWE week! Following TLC, Monday Night Raw opened to this week's GM, Y2J, announcing the night's 2 HUGE main events. A fan picked street fight with none other than Jericho, himself, and big mouthed Paul Heyman. Followed by rematch of Cena vs Rollins in a steel cage. The street fight couldn't even start before Brock Lesnar laid Jericho out with an F-5. No one expected any physical activity from Heyman. He may have put on some ring gear but that wasn't fooling anyone. I guess Brock feels the need to make up for lost time because he comes out during the steel cage match to remind Cena what he's in for at the Royal Rumble. Rollins hit Cena with a Curb Stomp and exits the cage.

USA Network switched up our regular schedules with a SuperSmackDown Live on Tuesday night. Raw gave us a taste of Roman Reigns but SmackDown showed Fandango what Reigns was really capable of doing. Rowan flies off the top to win the 6 man tag. The Ascension's vignette left me so confused. Did The Road Warriors find the fountain of youth? I don't know who has an easier job, Nikki or Kane. Ziggler nails a Zig-Zag for the win. That's what Rollins gets for talking too much. 

The 12th annual Tribute to the Troops airs tonight at 8pm. Promised to be the most patriotic and heart-warming show of the holiday season, WWE brings together the best of sports entertainment and pop culture. The Tribute will chronicle the Superstar's 2 day trip to Fort Benning, a performance by multi-platinum recording artists, Florida Georgia Line, special messages from a long list of celebrities, and I'm sure a few mediocre matches for good measure.

NXT's R Evolution and Its Effect On WWE Superstars.

Image Credit: wwe.com

Reports of frustration from WWE's main roster have our Divas and Superstars more focused than ever after seeing how fan reacted to Thursday's event. The success of NXT and stars like Sami Zayn and my favorite fat man, Kevin Owens, sparked a bit of a rivalry leaving everyone fired up for tonight's PPV.

Kevin Owens, formerly Kevin Steen of ROH, debuted with an impressive win over CJ Parker. Parker even tweets "Make no mistake!!! @FightOwenFight is the toughest man I've ever stepped in the ring with!" Owen confirmed that WWE could not water down talent like his, walking away from the ring with a face full of blood and a broken nose. 

Lucha Dragons defeat the Vaudervillians for the Tag Team Championship. Baron Corbin defeated Tye Dillinger. Charlotte retains the Woman's Championship. Sami Zayn, formerly El Generico of ROH and Steen's partner for many years, defeats Adrian Neville becoming the fifth NXT Champion. Some may say Owens shocking attack on Zayn was brilliant story telling, which is true, but we've already seen this fight in a different ring. It was written for Ring of Honor, not WWE. Nonetheless, I'm super stoked to watch this feud unravel in a WWE ring. FLY FATMAN, FLY!

WWE Monday Night Raw Recap, The Slammy's and More.

Image Credit: wwe.com

Seth Green hosts The Slammy Awards on this weeks Raw. We start off with a win for Seth Rollins against Ziggler. The "This is Awesome" Award goes to Sting's Debut. No Sting, but Rollins did stop at the podium to give us a piece of his mind and accept the award. Apparently, Sting doesn't deserve the award. 

John Laurinaitis comes out to present 'Surprise Return of the Year" after a match against Kofi and Cody Rhodes. Kofi wins and the award goes to The Ultimate Warrior, of course. Ric Flair's daughter, Charlotte, the NXT's woman's champion, takes on Natalya! It was freaking amazing. Natty wins but all I can think about is how hot wrestling daughters are. Seriously, Foley, Hogan, Hart, McMahon, now Flair. Santino comes out to present. The "OMG Moment of the Year" goes to Brock for ending Taker's streak. Boo. Paul Heyman should fire his make up artist. 

Bray Wyatt cuts a promo for his match at TLC. Ambrose emerges out of a smokey ambulance in a neck brace. He's ready for his match on Sunday. Ladder and chair in hand, nothing can stop this breakout star of the year. He's ready to eat Bray alive. The King presents the "Diva of the Year" award to AJ. She promises to beat Nikki and take back the title. Cena cuts his promo for Sunday. Bellyaching about the stipulations for his match against Rollins. I'm glad that was short and sweet. Former tag team partners, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, compete for the next match. Harper is disqualified for grabbing a ladder. The "LOL Moment of the Year" goes to Mizdow. I honestly think it should have went to the Wee-L-C match.

Ryback and The Usos win the 6 man tag match. Ricky Steamboat comes out to a standing ovation and presents the award for Match of the Year. Ziggler comes out to accept for Team Cena vs Team Authority at Survivor Series. Booker T presents Roman Reigns with "Superstar of the Year" just before a brief main event of Cena vs Big Show. This feud is never ending. Raw ends with a mini Survivor Series in the ring. Team Cena comes out to battle Team Authority as Rollins is left the last man standing. Will this be the scene Sunday night at Tables, Ladders, Chairs, AND STAIRS!?

WWE Monday Night Raw Recap: The GM Blows Our Cyber Monday Night Raw

Image Credit: wwe.com

Raw opens with announcements from the new "Anonymous Raw General Manager." I would've loved to see John Cena toss that laptop across the ring but like a gentleman, he closes it softly and cuts him promo. The night takes a turn for the worst as Rollins and what's left of The Authority, send Cena through a table....but not before the rest of Team Cena gets their asses handed to them. The GM reveals that the shot at the Heavyweight Title is on the line at TLC in two weeks. If Cena's not careful, we could have a Rollins vs Brock match in a few months. 

Tag-team Turmoil looked more like a walk in the park for The Usos. After The New Day eliminated The Dust Brothers and Tyson Kidd pinned Kofi, The Usos attack Cesaro and don't even break a sweat taking out Adam Rose. The Usos have nothing to worry about in the ring. Their real problem is The Miz. Jimmy goes nuts after The Miz gets a little flirty complementing Noami's twerking in her new music video, "Dance All Night." He comes out and knocks The Miz right off his feet. I can't wait to see these two in the ring at the PPV. 

Vince was in the building to remind us about his Stone Cold interview on the WWE Network. They try to convince us Big Show is a bully. Fandango vs Swagger turns into Swagger vs Rusev. Ambrose kills Bray Wyatt's rocking chair. Paul Heyman compares Brock Lesnar to Christmas and the 6 man main event let Team Babyface get even for the beat down in the beginning of the show. 

If you weren't paying attention, you would have missed my favorite part of Raw. Saint Mick debuts with Noelle Foley. I try really hard to not to be a pervert so I won't throw in a Mr. Socko joke but Mankind's daughter is smoking hot! Follow her on twitter @NoelleFoley.

Next week Seth Green hosts the Slammys in Greenville, South Carolina. If you have the WWE app, don't forget to vote!

Survivor Series Gives Us Sting and Daniel Bryan, Takes Away Our Power Couple.

Image Credit: wwe.com

Ziggler pins Rollins Sunday night and starts a new era for the WWE Universe. Hunter and Stephanie return to Raw to say their goodbyes before a disappointed Vince takes the duo away from the arena to let the bearded one do his thing. What a waste. I'm starting to believe that they're right, The Authority makes WWE thrive. It's only been one episode and we already need them back. 

If they were desperate enough to bring Sting back, you'd think we'd get him for more than five minutes and a video promo on Raw. Thank God for Daniel Bryan. He came out to interrupt Hunter and start a fifteen minute YES chant. Somewhere in there he managed to get some work done and schedule the matches. Too bad we've already seen all these matches the night before. Ryback defeats Mark Henry. The Miz retains the Tag Team Titles. Tyson Kidd defeats Adam Rose. Brie pins AJ(minus the lesbian kiss). Cena and Ziggler defeat Rollins and the Goons. 

My favorite match of the night was Ambrose vs Luke Harper. A solid match ending in a disqualification by Harper and the Lunatic taking the win. Ambrose, prepping for his TLC match, reaches for tables and ladders which leds to a beat down by Bray Wyatt. I cannot wait for these madmen to face off again next month. 

Despite all that happened in the last couple days, wrestling's been a bit of a snooze-fest. Larry the Cable Guy was a big fat flop. They should have let him in the ring. At least it would give us something to talk about. We barely get Sting. Bryan Daniels isn't even wrestling. How can I forget about the anonymous GM emails!? I don't even want to watch next week.

TGIF: Destination Dixie Land, Matt Really Hated Raw, Bad News In January, and More

T.G.I.F. with Matt Dawgs: #279

Good day to you all and welcome to We Want Insanity. I am your host for today, Matt Dawgs and this is my column. Today is the end of the work week and the time to look back at all the goings-on over the past seven days as I wrap it up with a bow and spout it out bit by bit. Buckle up. As previously noted, you can catch my OTHER COLUMN which is the “ WWE NETWORK PPV OF THE WEEK ” where I and 3 friends discussed an old WWE/WCW/ECW PPV from the archives. Join us on SUNDAY as we review WWE "Survivor Series 1987" and check it out to see if it is worth watching. Also check out this week’s “ THE QUESTION ” where James Guttman, James Bullock (why do we have two James writing for the site? We need to change his name to Miguel or something) and myself answer a random question each week. This week’s “Question”, what is professional wrestling’s WORST theme song?

MATT NOTE: Last weekend the North East independent world had a huge weekend with Tommy Dreamer’s “House of Hardcore” selling out the ECW arena on a stacked show, Jersey All Pro Wrestling returning for the first time in over a year and some other independent shows in New Jersey and Long Island doing excellent live attendance for their shows. With that being said, a story that is sucking the life out of all of those involved a small time New Jersey Independent promoter by the name of Mike Morgan. Morgan runs Ace Pro Wrestling out of Union City. That promotion is best known for honing some of the best talent in the North East indies and being a place where a lot of people called their “home fed” including Jay Lethal (who was the school’s trainer and longtime World Champion) and current WWE Divas Champion A.J. Lee (who did most of her training there and even visited it for a WWE.com feature a few years back). Anyway, on Friday November 14^th, Mike Morgan’s oldest son Mike Jr. (20 years old) was walking home from taking his younger siblings, brother Adrian (11 years old) and sister Mileen (15 years old) to the movies to see “Dumb and Dumber To”. Upon walking home, a red Nissan Rogue jumped the curb and struck Mike Jr. and Adrian while narrowly missing Mileen. The car then fled the scene leaving behind a headlight and part of the fender. 11-yr old Adrian was IMPALED ON A FENCE and is in critical condition. 20-yr old Mike is also in critical condition and had to have his right leg amputated in addition to undergoing brain surgery to stop the bleeding. It is a tough situation and Morgan Sr. was the LAST PROMOTER I worked for in my wrestling career. He is an absolute wonderful person with a huge heart who tried to help as many lost causes as he could with professional wrestling. So if you can spare, please help DONATE to a “Go Fund Me” that has been set up to help pay for his son’s mounting medical costs as both kids are not out of the woods yet and will require additional surgeries as well as an extended hospital stay. Late Wednesday evening, the suspects ARE IN CUSTODY.

BONUS MATT NOTE: Happy Thanksgiving to all. There will be NO COLUMN next week. So enjoy the holiday and eat a lot of food. See you in December with both T.G.I.F. and my WWE Network PPV of the Week as since Sunday is Survivor Series, there will be no PPV review either.

WWE NEWS AND NOTES:

- It has been a LONG TIME since I went on a rant like this so sit back and enjoy the ride because this is going to be fun for those of you who call me a WWE apologizer. Yes Chucky, I am looking at you.

- I honestly don’t even know where to start. So many MIND BLOWINGLY STUPID things took place during RAW this week in what was supposed to be the “Go Home” show for Survivor Series yet really only focused on the main event of Survivor Series while everything else was secondary.

- The show opened with a marathon of a promo by Triple H and Stephanie with the rest of Team Authority where he legit spoke for 16 minutes and didn’t say one single solitary word that was noteworthy other than setting up Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler. I get it. The show is 3 hours and it isn’t WWE’s choice. But honestly, do not let people ramble on and on and on and on without anything to say. Also....would someone in creative PLEASE come up with a new outline for the show? The drawn out promo to start the show is played out. We need a breath of fresh air to help break the monotony. It wasn’t until HHH and Steph rambled for 15 minutes that Ryback came out to tell them that he isn’t on Team Cena or Team Authority. He is on his own team. That was after Stephanie showed Ryback clips of John Cena burying him verbally when they feuded in 2012 including mocking Ryback at the time.

- By the way, for the sake of continuity, would it have been so hard to have Mark Henry and Rusev standing on OPPOSITE sides of the ring instead as close to each other as they were sanding considering they were just feuding not too long ago doing the Russia vs. USA thing?

- Luke Harper DEFEATED Dolph Ziggler to capture the Intercontinental Title. This is a significant moment because it means that either Ziggler is set to get a major push finally or....Harper is going to be buried now because the IC Champ has been nothing but jobber fodder for several years now. Either way, while a good, stiff match between two good workers, this is significant because Ziggler is on Team Cena and before the match officially got underway he was laid out by Seth Rollins, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury yet conspicuous by his absence was Ziggler’s team captain this Sunday, John Cena. Weird.

- By the way, I really like how they have repackaged both Luke Harper and Eric Rowan after breaking them away from Bray Wyatt without repackaging them at all. They are exactly the same. WTF?

- Grumpy Cat, or as Cole called him, “Grumpy THE Cat”. I refuse to put this over with words. I am not. That will be the LAST I mention of him in this column so if you liked a skit involving him on the show that took place, please refrain from mentioning it because I will not put it over. It’s DUMB.

- I am completely lost by the Adam Rose/Bunny angle. WHO THE F*CK IS THE HEEL AND WHO THE F*CK IS THE BABYFACE?!?!?!?!!? Why am I supposed to care again? What is going on? PS – I was thisclose to turning off the TV as soon as Rose lost and then confronted the Bunny who started to HUMP ADAM ROSE . I am not making this up. The Bunny was humping Adam Rose from behind and the announcers acknowledged it as such in a “comedic” way. I quote comedic because it was not funny in any way, shape or form and not for nothing, it was NOT very PG rated. So stupid and almost ruined you readers from getting my complete RAW thoughts this week.

- So after opening the show with a long, drawn out promo to open the show, WWE decided that it would be best to add a Bray Wyatt in-ring promo to close the first hour of RAW. And you KNOW how I have felt about Bray Wyatt’s promos lately. Same old sh*t. Thank god Dean Ambrose appeared on the Titan Tron and legitimately began complaining about Bray’s promos being long and nonsensical. Looks like Dean has been reading T.G.I.F. with Matt Dawgs huh??? He then appears FROM BEHIND Bray and attacks as the Titan Tron was a pre-taped promo. Cool angle but again, way too long.

- The second hour opens with Ryback coming out to eat some more. His opponent was Cesaro. My first though harkened back to “Who the f*ck did Cesaro piss off backstage?” Like, I now NEED to know because his burial has been so bad of late. Do you remember when Cesaro won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and then became a Paul Heyman guy the following evening and everyone thought he was going to get a legit main event run? HAHA!!! Good times. Anyway, after a few minutes of back and forth action I felt relieved. Cesaro was not getting squashed. This was great......until I realized that Ryback was getting such a big push of late. He is being protected as a main event guy. Both the top heels and top babyfaces are feuding over him. So if that is the case and that is where the booking is taking you, to building Ryback, WHY THE F*CK WOULD YOU BOOK HIM IN A 14 MINUTE COMPETITIVE MATCH VS. A GUY YOU HAVE MADE LOOK LIKE A FOOL AS OF LATE ?!?!?!?!?!?! I do not get it. Ryback looked slow and tired after 4 minutes. Cesaro absolutely should not have been doing multiple power moves on him. Just terrible booking of Ryback.

- Lana and Rusev are a great act. I really hope WWE stops with the minor stifling of their growth like they had the past few weeks with Stephanie McMahon talking down to them and making them look inferior to them. Vince McMahon, despite being the Mr. McMahon character and the boss NEVER made his main event talents look like fools. Never would he have talked down to Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, Kane, Mankind, Triple H, etc and if the small chance that he did, NEVER in a million years would they just stand there and take it. I HATE when Steph does that to people. Anyway, Lana discussed Kim Kardashian and then teased a topless photo that she had. The crowd popped and she showed a topless photo of Vladimir Putin. SOLID F*CKING GOLD!!!!! The angle was getting heat and then WWE sucked it out of the building by sending out Heath Slater. Sigh. SQUASH CITY .

- Then, in what is yet another insanely INSANE SEGMENT , Big Show came out for his match and Stephanie McMahon interrupted him. She noted that she wanted him to quit Team Cena and in exchange she would name him as the first inductee to the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame. Big Show put the mic down and began whispered to her but was interrupted by Sheamus. Before the interruption I would like to point out that it was not that long ago when Stephanie and Triple H threatened to fire Show and made his life miserable. Now they want him in the Hall of Fame. For arguments sake, I will let this slide by saying that they were doing whatever they could as heels to keep their power by keeping Show off Team Cena. That is fine. But then you look at the other side of the coin and SHOW WAS ACTUALLY CONSIDERING THIS!!!! The Big Show, who HATED Stephanie and HHH and was crying when they fired him and he had to beg to come back and turn on Daniel Bryan in order to do so CONSIDERED TRUSTING STEPHANIE MCMAHON!!!! So Sheamus comes out and Stephanie threatens him with deportation. Yes. DEPORTATION. WTF??? Stephanie books Big Show vs. Sheamus IN A MATCH . But before it could get anywhere, Rusev and Mark Henry run out and destroy both men including “injuring” Sheamus and thus taking him out of the Survivor Series main event.

- Sheamus is undergoing surgery hence why he was written out. It is not major surgery and he isn't expected to miss significant time.

- The above angle is SUPER NOTEWORTHY because unless WWE is planning on turning John Cena HEEL on Sunday at Survivor Series in the swerve of all swerves, WHY IN THE WORLD DID CENA NOT COME OUT AGAIN AND HELP HIS TEAMMATES FROM GETTING A BEATING?!?!?!?! He is in the building because they showed him being interviewed by Renee Young and again watching Ryback’s match on a monitor. Where was he during this???

- Brie Bella dressed up as A.J. (cause Nikki wanted to prep for her match with A.J. on Sunday) DEFEATED Nikki due to an A.J. distraction. I have heard constant rumors that A.J. is done with WWE after Sunday at Survivor Series so this could be her exit storyline after losing to Nikki at the PPV. This fire was further fueled as A.J. apparently created an EBAY account toward the end of October and has been periodically auctioning old ring gear on the site. After the match, A.J. laid out BOTH Bellas. Please note I have NO CONFIRMATION that A.J. is in fact leaving. It is just rumor and innuendo at this point.

- By the way, it has almost been 30 days meaning that Brie Bella is going to no longer be Nikki’s assistant soon. What a waste of an angle!!!!! They did nothing for this angle at all.

- FANDANGO ON SUNDAY?!?!?! Nice, I thought he was dead.

- It’s a “ NEW DAY ” for Big E. Langston. This is a complete 180 from when this angle debuted in July. Whatever though, it is something new and fresh on our televisions.

- Cena confronted Ryback backstage and asked him to join the team. Ryback reiterated that he is Team Ryback. Cena then decided to insult him further as if that is a good way to get him to join. SMH. He did have a good line though with the insult saying “For a guy who is always wanted to be fed more, it’s odd that he finally gets to the big table and suddenly isn’t hungry.”

- Next week’s RAW host is Larry the Cable Guy. I am so glad it is 2005 again!!! Honestly, WWE is doing this because he is starring in a sequel to the 1996 “Jingle All The Way” film which Santino Marrella has a role in.

- The Miz & Mizdow & Goldust & Stardust vs. The Usos & Los Matadores. WWE FUN FACT: I read my column from exactly a year ago last week and going into LAST YEAR’S SURVIVOR SERIES, do you know who was feuding? If you guessed Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. The Usos you WIN!!! They have been feuding for ONE YEAR!!! WTF?!?!?! Anyway, MAJOR PROPS to Miz who busted out Heel 101 school stuff during this match. The crowd was going apesh*t for Mizdown wanting him in the match. When Miz made the tag to him, the crowd erupted like Hogan slammed Andre. As soon as Mizdow got in the ring, Miz blind tagged himself back in. AMAZING!!!!!

- With about 20 minutes remaining in the show, the Authority came out for the contract signing to the main event of Survivor Series. 20 MINUTES LEFT. Lots of talking here by HHH and Steph. Cena came out with no teammates since they were all taken out and he did nothing all show to help them from being beaten down. So obviously he has no partners. Not only did he have no partners come out but instead of being combative and anti-authority (no pun intended) when confronting HHH and Steph, He.......Cracked......Jokes.

HE CRACKED JOKES.

HE CRACKED JOKES!!!!!!

- John Cena, with a chance to end the Authority’s reign on Sunday and with no teammates to stand beside him since they were all injured while he just watched from a monitor backstage instead of helping, found this situation to be funny enough that he could crack jokes that weren’t funny about it. I AM COMPLETELY AT A LOSS FOR WORDS AT THIS. No one, not Cena, not Vince McMahon, not Triple H, not Stephanie, not Michael Hayes, not Arn Anderson, not Dean Malenko, not Michael Cole, not JBL, not Big Show, not Sheamus, not Luke Harper, not anyone in the building who saw the script before the show went on the air realized how f*cking stupid this was?? No one? All the great wrestling minds that work for this company and no one spoke up? Anyway, Cena gets slapped and he decides he wants to fight everyone on the Authority right now, by himself. Dolph Ziggler comes out to help even though Cena didn’t do the same for him. Then Big Show comes out even though Cena didn’t do the same for him. No Sheamus though because he was taken out of the main event in exchange for....ERIC ROWAN. Yes, Eric Rowan who has been playing the role of Lenny Small from “Of Mice and Men” on television for the past few weeks is now in the main event picture. WHAT. THE. F*CK?!?!?! Then Cesaro came out to even the score but he sided with the Authority. That was a tease apparently because now the Authority for some unknown reason had 6 guys instead of 5. Um....dumb. But Ryback came out and officially joined Team Cena. Cena LAID OUT HHH to end the show by putting him through a table. To reiterate my comment from a few weeks ago, no idea why Triple H didn’t sign up for his own team since he wants the best possible team he can get in order to win. Once again, stupid booking. Such an awful show and minus the main event build, the rest of the card for Survivor Series was an afterthought.

Contract Signing and Grumpy Cat; Monday Night Raw Recap

Image Credit: wwe.com

Heading into Survivor Series, "Team Cena" has The Authority on their toes. The fate of WWE lies in their hands after all. Stephanie tries every trick in the book to change Ryback's mind. He declares he is only playing for one team and that's Team Ryback. Threats of deportation couldn't sway Shemus. Bribes of Hall of Fame induction did nothing to persuade Big Show to switch teams. Ziggler comes out looking better than ever for his match against Luke Harper. The match doesn't even start before it's interfered by The Goons. Rollins has a lot to say on commentary. Harper defeats Ziggler by pin fall for the Intercontinental Championship. Mark Henry took Shemus out with a World's Strongest Slam. Big Show and Ziggler are both injured. The Authority wants to wear out Team Cena so there is nothing left of them. There's very little Cena can do but pray to take The Authority out of power. 

A confrontation between Ambrose and Wyatt gave us a taste of what we're in for Sunday night. Despite what Bray has to say about The Lunatic, he does not need saving. Dean Ambrose, "the most dangerous man in the world," because he can't love? Give me a break. He's dangerous because he's smart. I don't know which one of us is more excited that he finally gets his hands on Wyatt. 

As I predicted, Grumpy Cat was the best part of Raw. By far the best celebrity guest this year (besides Foley). Miz was great. That kiss good-bye made my heart skip a beat. Even Erick Rowan wants the cat! She is too cute. Next week Larry the Cable Guy graces our television screens with his presence. Why aren't the guests wrestling anymore? When Snooki came on she looked great in the ring. Bring her back! These celebrities are getting away with doing nothing and it sucks for the fans. 

Hunter makes a very valid point during the contract signing. The future of his family depends on this company. They have more to lose than anyone else. They are going to make sure they win this match. Cena searches the crowd for a new team. He promises the King and Queen will watch their team fall. Team Cena gets a few new members Erick Rowan, Cesaro, and Ryback and sends Hunter through a table to close the show.

On October 25th, we arrived early and got to meet and greet with some of the 1994 Stanley Cup Championship winners, the New York Rangers.

We also met none other then "The Nature Boy" himself, Ric Flair! Woooooo! Although we were unable to interview Flair, it was great to meet such a humble down to earth guy, who seemed to be in very good spirits and happy to be there. Hulk Hogan also appeared at That 90's Show, however we were also unable to obtain and interview with him. Hogan was in great spirits and seemed very happy to be there.

Jay Wells, Steve Larmer, Joe Kucor and Stephane Matteau, (better known as the Ranger who scored the game winning goal in the 1994 cup) discuss the current state of the Rangers, Madison Square Garden, Anthony Duclair, Gary Bettman and the two lockouts, as well as what it was like winning the 1994 cup and a lot more.

Monday Night Raw Recap: LIVE from Liverpool England!

Image Credit: wwe.com

Live from Liverpool, England! It's like they didn't know what to do with this show so they broke down Survivor Series into seperate matches. The stories sucked as much as the wrestling. I know acting isn't a prority in the WWE Universe but it's was unbelieveable bad last night for some reason. Honestly, I'm more excited about Grumpy Cat next Monday than anything else. I wonder what they'll have him do...

There wasn't much I enjoyed about Raw this week. I did like when Nikki bugged out after Brie lost. She went ape-shit and laid AJ out with a Rack Attack. I would be scared if I was Brie. She may only have a few more days as personal assistant but Nikki is just getting starting. 

Its all about what the Authority wants and they want to win! With a captain like Seth Rollins leading a team of giants, Kane, Rusev, and Mark Henry, The Authority seems unbeatable. Cena better start praying for a miracle. Even with Big Show and Sheamus joining Team Cena, I don't seeing it ending well for them. If tonight's main event is any indication of what will happen in 2 weeks, Good Luck Cena. 

Does anyone know what happened in those last five minutes? Ryback quit Team Authority but did he join Team Cena? Luke Harper delivered a half dead Ziggler to Stephanie's feet. Does that mean he's part of the team now? Is Ziggler out for good? This is supposed to leave you wanting more, biting your nails til next Monday. I just feel jipped.

TGIF: The Insanity of Rusev-Sheamus, No One Hit On Shelton's Momma, and More

T.G.I.F. with Matt Dawgs: #277

Good day to you all and welcome to We Want Insanity. I am your host for today, Matt Dawgs and this is my column. Today is the end of the work week and the time to look back at all the goings-on over the past seven days as I wrap it up with a bow and spout it out bit by bit. Buckle up. As previously noted, you can catch my OTHER COLUMN which is the “ WWE NETWORK PPV OF THE WEEK ” where I and 3 friends discussed an old WWE/WCW/ECW PPV from the archives. Join us on SUNDAY as we review WCW “Great American Bash 1989” and check it out to see if it is worth watching. Also check out this week’s “ THE QUESTION ” where James Guttman, James Bullock (why do we have two James writing for the site? We need to change his name to Tinashe or something) and myself answer a random question each week. This week’s “Question”, what is TV’s best theme song?

WWE NEWS AND NOTES:

- RAW = TRAIN. WRECK. Oh my god was RAW this week all over the f*cking place. Just complete lack of logic in almost every turn. Don’t believe me? Well let me break it down for you......

- Last week on RAW, the show was the start of the big Survivor Series angle involving Team Cena vs. Team Authority. Smackdown and the website all week were discussing the fact that John Cena would choose his team on RAW on Monday. I believe even the teaser WWE does on the site made note of that on Sunday. Then comes RAW on Monday and.....JOHN CENA ISN’T EVEN ON THE SHOW. WTF?!?!?! But that is just the start of the insanity.

- The show opened with a pleasant but surprisingly unannounced surprise. After a YEAR absence from television, Vince McMahon made his TRIMUPHANT RETURN to WWE television alongside his daughter and son-in-law HHH to open the show. Vince plugged the WWE Network as expected but surprisingly didn’t bother to mention the UK getting the Network as Monday was launch day there (more on this below). He then threw a curve ball out of left field that can be described as two ways. One way to describe it would be complete and utter desperation in order to get new subscribers to the Network. The second way to describe it would be Vince’s attempt to get a hot angle going and ideally the same angle that was talked about a full year ago which would pit Triple H vs. Vince’s proxy at Wrestlemania for complete control of the company. My guess is that it is a little bit of both. Vince announced that if the Authority’s team loses at Survivor Series then the Authority will NO LONGER BE IN CONTROL OF WWE. Now this is just my guess but I believe that this will lead to the tease we saw a few weeks ago with Triple H vs. The Rock at Wrestlemania as the original plan last year was for Triple H vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (Vince’s 1st choice) or Triple H vs. The Rock (Vince’s 2nd choice) but both men fell through and then the Daniel Bryan phenomenon took over to they decided to scrap the idea altogether. So I think that is where we are going with this.

- Dean Ambrose and Cesaro FOUGHT AGAIN. I enjoy their matches but as noted in the last two columns, it is the same formula for RAW week in and week out. Cesaro got bloodied, not sure how and he required 5 staples to close the cut on his head on Monday. During the commercial break in his match with Dean Ambrose, WWE medical personnel were able to temporarily close the cut so he could continue the match and then put the staples in when he got backstage following the match. More Bray Wyatt magic stuff. I am not into him anymore. They did a fantastic job of killing his momentum DEAD if that was their intention.

- Remember when Cesaro won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania, it was treated like a big deal, he won this huge trophy and then was made a Paul Heyman guy and he got pushed to the moon? LOL. Good times.

- Should I start saying POOR MIZ? Seems that was as his matches have somehow now become a backdrop for Damien Mizdown to be showcased.

- So here is where more complete f*cking insanity comes around. The entire first hour in another desperate attempt to get more subscribers to the Network, WWE hyped that Sheamus would defend the US title vs. Rusev following RAW LIVE, exclusively on the Network. So instead of video packages to hype the match or promos from both men backstage or even in the ring hyping it, following the Miz vs. Jimmy Uso match we had SHEAMUS IN ACTION VS. TYSON KIDD!!!!! Not only that, but Sheamus F*CKING LOSES?!?!?!?!?! WHAT?????? Who in the hell was the genius who decided to have Sheamus lose a match before his “big” title defense live on the Network??? Why was this booked? And before you say that it was done to get over the Kidd/Nattie angle or that Sheamus vs. Rusev was booked last minute after the show was written, all you had to do was substitute Sheamus with R-Truth or Big E. Langston or anyone else and done the exact same match. Sheamus didn’t need to be sacrificed for it. SMH. And if for some unknown reason you decide that you NEED to have Sheamus wrestle on RAW, then have him win cleanly. That is the smartest form of booking. Oh...you needed Kidd to win? Then book him vs. someone who can afford a loss, especially since he won via countout. And on top of all that....if you needed Kidd to win then why the f*ck did Sheamus lay him out with the Brogue Kick after the match? I feel like I am in bizzaro world with this match. Mind Blowingly Dumb Booking.

- Dolph Ziggler continues his ride on the jobber train with a lame DQ win over Seth Rollins. Um...not for nothing but before the match was announced, the entire Authority came out to confront Ziggler and to try and CONVINCE HIM to join Team Authority. Triple H then proceeded to sing all sorts of praises for Ziggler. This would be an extremely useful angle and believable if DOLPH ZIGGLER EVER WON A F*CKING MATCH. This is the same Ziggler who legit just got over an 8 television match losing streak. Why are we supposed to believe he is such an asset when you book him to be a jobber with a belt? If I were Triple H, I would be encouraging Ziggler to be on Cena’s team. He is an easy elimination if you go by his television performances!!!

- By the way, 100% chance that HHH was speaking in code when he said that “something always gets in the way” of Ziggler every time he starts to rise to the top. I am sure that was a shoot disguised as a worked comment.

- The MATCH ITSELF wasn’t the type of quality you’d expect from them but Orton running in and laying out Rollins with an RKO OUTTANOWHERE was awesome and becoming a running gag. I like it. Although it is doing nothing but position Orton as a full-fledged face. It also didn’t help HHH’s argument from before the match since Rollins essentially destroyed him before curb stomping him into oblivion until the run in. BTW, Orton’s run in causes the DQ thus Ziggler loses again. Just saying.

- BTW, Orton is not scheduled for any future RAW’s between now and Survivor Series hence the show closing angle and he was actually removed by WWE from Survivor Series local ads over the weekend which is extremely odd since this RAW focused on him and Rollins competing over control of Team Authority at the PPV and more so because the PPV is IN ST. LOUIS, HIS HOMETOWN!!!!!!

- Two weeks in a row where Orton cuts a fiery promo breaking away from his slow, monotone promos. Last week I complained, this week it is growing on me.

- Who was the PROMO WITH THE EYES about? I assumed the Ascension but I am hearing others speculate Luke Harper. Anyone know? Guesses?

- More Insanity, YAY!!!! Last week Ryback randomly was a babyface and crushed his opponent to the crowd’s delight. How does WWE follow that up? By having Ryback have a back and forth COMPETITIVE MATCH with perennial jobber Titus O’Neal!!!!

- PS – I honestly think WWE is going to try and make us forget about the last year when Ryback was a mid-card/opening card heel/jobber and pretend he is a main event talent again. He is likely going to be Team Cena at Survivor Series.

- Insanity Segment Alert: What in the blue hell was up with Big Show’s teary eyed promo about wanting his friend Mark Henry back? That was incredibly lame and a bit homosexual. He misses his friend. What?

- And as you can see, creative is in panic mode doing things the completely rushed way because they don’t know where they are going with angles. BIG SHOW VS. MARK HENRY on RAW rather than at Survivor Series? Weird. Then end it in a DQ? Worse than weird.

- So that Erik Rowan SEGMENT huh?

- Definitely not enough Brie/Nikki skits with Brie being her assistant. I am thoroughly disappointed as WWE is failing to capitalize on a bunch of potentially entertaining skits.

- Wait... “ A NEW DAY IS COMING”???? Xavier Woods??? Is WWE finally going to debut Woods/Big E/Kofi as a trio? This angle started IN JULY!!!!!

- And WWE is going to call them “The New Day” instead of those lame names I heard about a few months back liek "Speed Force" or "Athletic Friends". Good.

- Zack Ryder tweeted to John Cena that he is ready if Cena needs him to be on his team at Survivor Series. WWE actually showed the tweet on RAW. WWE is oblivious to the fact that Ryder 100% did that on his own to troll the internet and WWE fell for it likely thinking that Ryder did it in storyline per the creative team’s wishes. Anyway, Ryder was on Raw and he GOT KILLED by Rusev. You know, the same Rusev who is getting a US title match LIVE on the Network following RAW. SMH.

- Mark this down, save this column. If Rusev is on Team Authority at the PPV and Team Authority is booked to lose, then I GUARAN-F*CKING-TEE that Rusev gets eliminated by DQ. If they win, Rusev will be a survivor.

- MORE INSANITY!!! Los Matadores DEFEATED the WWE Tag Team Champions in a non-title match on RAW. How are Los Matadores rewarded for their big win? They are rewarded by The Usos getting a tag team title match on Smackdown tonight in a steel cage!!!!! Read that sentence again because you might be confused by what I wrote. THE F*CKING USOS are getting a title shot tonight even though Los Matadores PINNED the champs cleanly.

- And finally, for the 186 consecutive WWE show in a row, a combination of John Cena/Dean Ambrose/Randy Orton/Kane/Seth Rollins main events a show. At least we FINALLY GOT A CLEAN FINISH in the main event rather than a DQ. It was a solid match and Orton seemed motivated even though he has made it clear backstage that he doesn’t want to be a babyface. Rollins with the clean victory using a backslide? Someone was watching Flair vs. Steamboat matches on the Network this week.

- The POST MATCH ANGLE was good stuff. Orton nailing HHH with a forearm was good and I assume that even though he is supposed to be on Team Authority, he is now a babyface since he was laid out by Rollins, Kane, Mercury, Noble and a hesitant HHH who only joined in at Stephanie’s request. The running angle is that Orton is “injured” and he is not expected to be at Survivor Series.

Vince is here! Monday Night Raw Recap

Image Credit: wwe.com

New stakes for Survivor Series! If Team Authority loses to Team Cena, they lose their power. Much remains unsettled as Vince McMahon makes a rare TV appearance Monday night in Buffalo. What does this mean exactly? Will Stephanie and Hunter lose their jobs completely? Will whoever takes over be pro Cena? Is Vince a temporary fix to a much bigger problem? 

The Authority has taken over in a great way. I almost forget that anything else is going on in the show. I like that Ziggler is getting lots of attention even if he has to lose to Rollins. Creepy Bray Wyatt watches Ambrose from the stage. "Feed Me More" chants fill the arena for Ryback. Jimmy Uso doesn't stand a chance against The Miz. Nikki and Brie are such disappointments. I wish they would get a little more creative with this story line. 

The Condemned 2 has The Viper taking a break from the ring as he waits to be "medically cleared." A curb-stomp from Rollins leaves Orton with a bloody forehead and an exit via stretcher. It's very possible that he may even miss Survivor Series. Monday was Orton's last scheduled day as he is not booked for the European tour.

Good day to you all and welcome to We Want Insanity. I am your host for today, Matt Dawgs and this is my column. Today is the end of the work week and the time to look back at all the goings-on over the past seven days as I wrap it up with a bow and spout it out bit by bit. Buckle up. As previously noted, you can catch my OTHER COLUMN which is the “ WWE NETWORK PPV OF THE WEEK ” where I and 3 friends discussed an old WWE/WCW/ECW PPV from the archives.

MATT NOTE: Hope you all have a Happy Halloween today. Stay safe folks. Don't bring home any Ebola.

WWE NEWS AND NOTES:

- WWE presented their Hell in a Cell PPV this week and it was uninspiring to say the least. While the 2 cell matches did in fact deliver, one of them could have been anything but a cell match since it was more a street fight and the other was going exceptionally well until the finish. Ugh, that finish.

- From a wrestling/in-ring standpoint, the show was solid. Ziggler/Cesaro (although it could have used more time) and The Usos/Dust Brothers were good matches. Both Cell matches were good. Nikki vs. Brie was better than it had any right being. It was a decent but not GREAT PPV and then...that finish. UGH, again.

- While super short at 12 minutes for a 2 out of 3 falls match, please go watch Ziggler vs. Cesaro if you missed the PPV because the Super Plex spot was one of the most incredible spots I have ever seen in wrestling history. Cesaro is a BEAST as far as strength goes.

- If you were confused by the ending of the Ziggler/Cesaro match at HITC then be confused no more. Last Wednesday Cesaro conducted an interview in which he said THIS HERE. That was all that needed to be said to get the result he ended up getting. Remember when he won the “Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal” at Wrestlemania and it was hyped leading into it as being a thing and then he became a Paul Heyman guy the following night on RAW and everyone thought the rocket was going to get strapped to his back? HAHA!! Good times.

- I get that they need subscribers but Michael Cole burying fans as idiots for paying $54.95 for traditional PPV is mind blowing. Don’t insult fans.

- Sheamus and Miz was pure comedy. Do you remember when Sheamus was almost on John Cena’s level and Miz MAIN EVENTED a Wrestlemania? LOL.

- I fully believe that A.J. and Paige are going to feud for an entire calendar year.

- Cena and Orton was a fine match but honestly should have just been a street fight as noted above. It felt more like a brawl than a HITC match. I liked it and Orton with his RKO’s out of nowhere were fantastic. But I am honestly sick and tired of seeing them wrestle. It is crazy because I have always been an Orton fan and I don’t rag on Cena like most do because I can see his worth and he ALWAYS works hard in the ring despite his limits. But enough is enough. It was just a few years ago when they wrestled for the last time. Sigh.

- By the way, isn’t the point of a Hell in a Cell match to be brutality and as Mick Foley noted in the build up to Ambrose/Rollins, a match that changes your career win or lose? A match that takes years off of your “bump card” due to the viciousness? And as we saw in WWI’s WWE Network PPV of the Week REVIEW where we discussed Armageddon 2000 and the entire main event was built around how none of the 6 men going into the match would ever be the same regardless of the outcome, how come John Cena not only defeated Randy Orton at HITC on Sunday but walks out of the match unscathed, celebrates with the breast cancer survivors then high fives fans on the way out while celebrating as if he was in a regular match?

- I am not sure what else to say about the finish to the PPV. Ambrose and Rollins were having a fantastic match. All sorts of bells and whistles, a cool double table spot even before the match officially begun. It was awesome. Then my screen turned black ala the Sopranos’ finale. Not the arena blacked out (it did) but my screen. After some weird chanting and fog coming out of the RING ITSELF then Bray Wyatt appears. This was 1,000,000% lame. Ambrose absolutely needed the win in this match. But as DAVE MELTZER explained earlier this week, due to the Roman Reigns studio interview that aired on Monday, it is obvious that WWE does not see Ambrose as a top guy because Reigns is still getting a rocket strapped to his back therefore you cannot have the 4^th babyface from the top once Orton turns shortly (5^th when Daniel Bryan comes back) beating the top heel(Rollins). It doesn’t make sense from a booking perspective. So regardless of how he has been pushed for the past few weeks, Reigns is still the guy and all the momentum Ambrose has gotten and the reaction he gets from the fans still make him their chosen one.

- The Wyatt chanting that was going on while the lights were out was an old Bray Wyatt promo played backwards.

- With Ambrose and Rollins headlining the PPV, it marks the first time since NOVEMBER 1994 that two men under the age of 30 main evented a WWE PPV. The last time was Undertaker vs. Yokozuna in their casket match.

- When the match started on the roof, did Jerry Lawler really say right off the bat that no Hell in a Cell has ever started on top of the cage? Honestly, he didn’t say that. Did he? Like there is a zero percent chance those words came out of his mouth correct? I was totally hearing things right? It’s not like he was sitting RIGHT THERE AT RINGSIDE WHEN MICK FOLEY GOT THROWN OFF A HITC LANDING INCHES AWAY FROM HIM WHEN THEY STARTED THE MATCH ON TOP OF THE CAGE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!!!!!!!!!! There honestly is absolutely no excuse for something that simple. Jesus H. Christ.

- As for RAW, WWE tried to hit the reset button with
